Evir Allen FenrirThis one small thing I do works wonders, ALLOW the clover patches to take over the yard...don't mow those areas. The bees here are wild for the clover and it has a nice subtle sweet smell that wafts on the breeze. Quite nice. =)

Selena Hurst-Clements‎House of Bees sells flower seed packets specifically for pollinators. It's a small business out of a guy's garage, and him and his wife are beekeepers (some honeybees, but now mostly mason bees). Good folks. I also notice that all the bees (honey, bumble, etc) seem to like my Rosemary shrubs and Lavendar patch.

The Giving GardenGo for native plants. They not only will attract the bees, they also are food for insects in other stages of their life cycles. Asclepias tuberosa is a great milkweed to try.

Mary VirginiaMonarda fistulosa is the native beebalm (bergamot). Also they love the hellebores we sell in spring. And caryopteris shrub in later summer. (It's a dieback shrub in Z 5). Think about all season blooming.

Heather BartkoCorsican Hellebore for attracting bees in late winter/early spring. The bees prefer it over any other type of Hellebore and they are all over the flowers when it is in bloom.
